Time is here to go and bring my lathes home, they are sitting in a garage shop a few miles away. I will have to disassemble the lathe to move it. I had already planned on disassembly enough to replace the felt oil wicks on the spindle. Looks like I will take it to the major components listed here: http://bluechipmachineshop.com/bc_b...Disassemble-a-South-Bend-Lathe-for-Moving.pdf
I am looking for opinions and advice though on whether I should go ahead and repaint while I have it apart. Most of what you see that looks like rust is actually oil and dust.
After taking it apart to move, how much more work is there to get it to where I can paint it? Is it worth it?
